Those numbers... gahhhh. They're a perfect fit for me and I think they'd see that if they'd give me an interview. But yikes. I'm so worried they won't even read my secondary.

Those numbers... gahhhh. CU is my top choice (I'm in state and worked on the campus for a few years), but I'm low stat and I'm feeling so bad about my chances right now. They're a perfect fit for me and I think they'd see that if they'd give me an interview. But yikes. I'm so worried they won't even read my secondary.

;_;

Hi friend! I got an II from them on the first wave with low stats (SMP'er here, with meh MCAT), so I think they are truly holistic in screening. Don't sell yourself short and let your words explain your fit. 🙂

That's encouraging! I'll try not to lose hope. 🙂 (also I love your username and I hope we are someday med school classmates because I bet you're a rad human)

Anyone not receive a secondary after submitting in July?

How long is the turnaround for decisions after interviews?

 

[Escherian]

How long is the turnaround for decisions after interviews?

4-6 weeks usually, according to the Assistant Dean of Admissions.

4-6 weeks usually, according to the Assistant Dean of Admissions.

i'm hoping that they'll send decisions for 9/25 interviews on Thurs.....bc honestly, it's not like the adcom was busy sending out other II's, so surely they must be spending this time making decisions about us

 

[subparman]

Already almost 24% more primaries than the entire cycle last year

😵 <- me, who only received the secondary a few days ago

1st-year here at CU. This is a long but worthwhile process! Before you know it, you will be in med school thinking about all the hours you wasted on SDN the year prior 😆. Let me know if any of you have any questions that I might be able to answer!

Hi! CU is my top choice by a long shot. Based on your experience with your class, what kind of students do you see as being a good "fit" for CU? What's the culture and camaraderie like, especially given COVID? Favorite things about CU?

[PS: Good job adducting and medially rotating that hip, Magnus. TY for your service to keep me putting one foot in front of the other]

Hey guys I sent my secondary in on 9/30 and my file is currently under review. Would you guys say I have a chance of getting an interview with a 3.3 cgpa and a 518 mcat score? I’m an out of state applicant but I previously lived in Colorado for 8 years.

Got an interview with a similar gpa and lower MCAT with no ties to Colorado. So you def have a chance. They do holistic review and I think that really benefited me bc of strong ECs and narrative.

That gives me some hope. Thank you! Congratulations on your interview.

Any MSTP IIs?

 

[Unconditionalloves]

Can anyone find out where they left my interview invite?

Likewise lol

 

[periwabby]

Does anyone think we will hear any answers on acceptance today?

 

[docdocdill22]

I hope so! Did you also interview 09/25? @periwabby

 

[boulderdoc1]

Hoping to hear something today (interviewed 9/25)

 

[moshpitmed]

same, I know they said they usually respond within 4-6 weeks, but I'm sooo anxious about potentially receiving a call today

 

[periwabby]

I hope so! Did you also interview 09/25? @periwabby

Yes I did!!! I really enjoyed our interview day so the anxiety is real haha 🙂

 

[The Dragon of the West]

Rooting for all you wonderful people! Hopefully, tomorrow brings a lot of phone calls. 😊

Interviewing next week and soooo excited! For those who already interviewed: Did you guys receive your zoom links agenda the morning of interviews on that Friday? I know some schools are more timely with this than others so just curious!

for the sake of my own sanity, I sure hope so

 

[onelastshot]

has anyone received II lately? because it seems like they have only sent out once and stopped since then?

 

[moshpitmed]

according to the admissions tracker on their website, it looks like they've only had one interview date so far

 

[Sfts_88]

Who's going to take one for the team and ask them 😛

 

[deleted1040408]

omg I did not know they had this it shows 60 total II have been given out. Does anyone know what other schools have this?

It's 60 interviews were conducted (which is 1 day). Pretty sure more than 60 IIs have been given out as I was able to schedule all the way to end of Oct when I got mine~

 

[confusedandtired]

They interview ~60 each interview day and I think there's been at least two so far (I interviewed on the second date). I'm guessing they will send out more IIs once they start sending out decisions!

 

[turtleduck420]

Got the acceptance call 🙂 Interviewed 9/25!! OOS applicant

 

[deleted1040408]

[docdocdill22]

Do your portals look different at all?

 

[turtleduck420]

Do your portals look different at all?

mine doesn't. dean soohoo said i'd get an email next week with more details / next steps so it'll probably update then?

 

[CG3PO]

[GameOfZones]

Congrats to everyone who got the call! Are you all from the first interview day?

 

[deleted1040408]

any other 9/25 interviewees feeling hopeless rn

meee, I know there's still plenty of time to get an A from them, but I'm still so scared lol

 

[boulderdoc1]

meee, I know there's still plenty of time to get an A from them, but I'm still so scared lol

Me too... Feel like this means I didn't get in (fellow 9/25 interviewee).

 

[deleted1040408]

do we think calls go out on weekends :/

 

[moshpitmed]

Me too... Feel like this means I didn't get in (fellow 9/25 interviewee).

I remember them saying on the interview day that they will do acceptance calls over the span of a few days, then send the rest of the decisions all at once, so I'm still holding onto hope

 

[boulderdoc1]

do we think calls go out on weekends :/

Pretty doubtful :/. I wonder how many As were given out today...

 

[ButterFluffer]

So so sooo hoping for an II soon

 

[periwabby]

Pretty doubtful :/. I wonder how many As were given out today...

I also did not receive a call yesterday....we can sad party together until we get some news lol
